If you’re in the US, contact HR and tell them that you’d like to request reasonable accommodations for a documented ADA-covered disability. Do it soon before you get any formal performance warnings or put on the PIP.
Will buy you some time at least.
- giantg2 2y agoI already did. They told me to work with my manager on them. Seem like they aren't willing to do anything. One of the accommodations was for more coaching, but they still hold it against me when I ask questions.
- paulcole 2y agoForce them to approve or deny. Drag your feet on documentation. Ask for outlandish things. Threaten to bring a lawyer into it. If it’s a big conservative company it’ll take months or longer to figure out how to put you on a PIP let alone fire you once you start talking about your ADA protections. But claiming disability as soon as you get a PIP is worth a lot less — very common tactic.
- giantg2 2y agoI mean, I've already submitted the request. They told me to work with my manager on accommodations, so that's approval enough. Just the fact that I disclosed my disability and requested any accommodations means the interactive process has initiated. So I should be covered under ADA - I did talk to an employment lawyer. They said it's really odd the way the my company is handling it and it looks like I'm being targeted.
